[Verse 1]

I done been through it all, stealing shit up out the mall

Got arrested, had my mama stressing that one day she would get the wrong call

Only got two fits on my dresser, go to school dealing with depression

Getting teased, 'cause I couldn't read, so I told the teacher, "I'ma skip this lecture" (Fuck this)

Running out of class super fucking fast, fuck a hall pass, homework in the trash

I'm so damn pissed, now I gotta piss, I walk in, you won't guess who up in this bitch

A young girl sitting on the floor, she got a reputation like she the school ho (Yeah)

They wrote all on her locker, dosed her up with flakka, every night she getting raped by her father

Told her, "Just pray for the best", went to CVS for a pregnancy test

And I swear, it couldn't get no worse, feel like I'm sitting here dealing with a curse (What the fuck?)

Mama took all the visas quick (Yeah), friends calling her a piece of shit (Yeah)

Father sent her back to school, tryna play it cool with a black eye shades could fix (Hell naw)

How could you molest your own child, and still go to work so damn proud?

'Cause you love the sound of her screaming loud

You a sick motherfucker, let me tell you now


[Pre-Chorus]

Who was there?

Who was there when she scream help?

Who was there, who was there?

It was just herself


[Chorus]

Ain't nobody got no heart here

Tell me, how did I start here?

Been cutting myself, not loving myself

Got a life that's harder than Ace Hardware

Ain't nobody got no heart here

Tell me, how did I start here?

Been cutting myself, not loving myself

Got a life that's harder than Ace Hardware

Ain't nobody got no heart here

Tell me, how did I start here?

Been cutting myself, not loving myself

Got a life that's harder than Ace Hardware


[Post-Chorus]

Who was there?

Who was there when she scream help?

Who was there, who was there?

It was just herself


[Verse 2]

Noticed she was getting underpaid, now she headed to public aid

Tryna get food stamps for the newborn, the struggle feel unreal like a unicorn

Baby girl stretching a hundred dollars in food

She wanna eat from home, but daddy spit in her food

Take her to the back when her mom fall asleep

Told her, "Take it like you grown if you want something to eat"

He tied her hands down, pulled her pants down, she start to bleed (Wow)

Imagine dealing with this shit every day of the week (Fucked up)

He force it in 'til 10, she start to feel weak (Oh my God)

Wrapped his hands around her mouth and realized she couldn't breathe

He told her, "Shut up, get the fuck up, I don't love ya, clean this nut up"

Her mother coming down the hall, it's the only real way that she looked up

But mama still pretend she ain't see shit while her daughter feelin' so seasick

Well, not seasick, 'cause that's a understatement, her family treat her so underrated

She banging on my door, we gotta go in a rush

Grab my coat now we in the ER, rush

Doctor face so straight it's the scariest, looked her in the eye and tell her she miscarried it


[Pre-Chorus]

Who was there?

Who was there when she scream help?

Who was there, who was there?

It was just herself


[Chorus]

Ain't nobody got no heart here

Tell me, how did I start here?

Been cutting myself, not loving myself

Got a life that's harder than Ace Hardware

Ain't nobody got no heart here

Tell me, how did I start here?

Been cutting myself, not loving myself

Got a life that's harder than Ace Hardware

Ain't nobody got no heart here

Tell me, how did I start here?

Been cutting myself, not loving myself

Got a life that's harder than Ace Hardware


[Post-Chorus]

Who was there?

Who was there when she scream help?

Who was there, who was there?

It was just herself
